Apple provided a utility called Eject in the CD Extras->Eject Extras
folder on the OS 9 install disc which came with some Macs, such as the
iMac G4/800. (I don't know if it's available for download.) It is
designed to open and close the optical drive bay when third-party
keyboards without a 'Media Eject' key are used. You can use the
application itself most easily via a desktop alias or assign a
function key as a shortcut. It can be used with all Power Macs.
(There's also an Eject Control Strip module included.)
If you have Toast Titanium 5 on your G4 MDD, you may find that the
following AppleScript script will open the lower optical drive bay. It
works for me :
tell application "Toast Titanium"
eject
quit
end tell
An equally simple script does the reverse :
tell application "Toast Titanium"
close tray
quit
end tell
